Kyle,
That's exciting! I know you'll make the best of the time you have working for yourself now!!
If you ever need a farm hand just holler, I'm still looking for work.

I'm glad a burden has been lifted. So........congratulations?
Will more sawing time for you translate into more wood buying oppotunities for us?
Anyway, hope all goes well and enjoy the cold one.  | |

I envy all you guys that make a good retirement into a second wood working life.
I sat down with my accountant yesterday and we determined I'll be able to quit working about two years
after I die.

retirement.. The desk job was killing me and I am only 42 so I figure retirement in about 42 more years .. 
The layoff was pretty large at the Charlotte plant. | |

Congratulations on the move -- you'll miss the paycheck, but I'll guarantee you won't miss the stress! Life begins with retirement and we're confident you'll be able to make ends meet! Enjoy the smell of wood chips every day...
